hi. ive had a catholic education from a catholic school from kindergarten through high school. thats a little background just in case i sound like a freak or stupid or something.
am i the only one that thinks religion makes no sense?
out of all the religions in the world, it makes no sense that one would be right over another. in the bible, whenever it answeres a common human question, nad even when priests or whoever answer it, its always a bullshit answer. its that god works in mysterious ways, or its just too complex for us to understand. sounds like bullshit to me. sounds like some half-assed answer you'd tell a kid or something, just to shut them up and not dwell on it any further. i notice that whenever people say prayers they say it from memory, and do not really know what they're saying but just saying it out of habit (much like the pledge of alleigence). i notice that a seeming majority of the extremists in the world have religious motives. no creation story makes sense. whenever some scientific fact conflicts with something in the bible, they make up some bullshit excuse like "it was just said to teach a lesson" or "dont take it for face value, see what it's trying to teach" or some shit like that. being at a catholic school all of my life, you see soo much hypocrasy it really makes you wonder. whenever i asked some teacher or something about this, they say its all about faith. more bullshit. faith isnt believing in some dude you've never seen, but have only heard of in some old book that was partially mis-translated from its transition from hebrew to english (or whatever else). that sounds like stupidity to me. makes more sense that jesus was some cult leader that died and his life story was blown way out of proportion. he was probably like hitler, charismatic and all that, look at the success hitler had. and wthey say that god wanted us to have free choice and choose for ourselves. well, since he gave us a mind, wouldnt he want us to use it? and by thinking logically, i come to a conclusion that its all bullshit. i think god would be on my side if he's there. also, heaven doesnt make sense. eternal hapiness in some holy place? man, being anywhere for eternity seems like it would get boring. reincarnation makes more sense. but as for the answer to that question and any other of those ill just leave it at "i dunno".
i dunno, sorry if this has been brought up before, but i haven't bothered reading the previous posts (too tired).
and please if you're some high strung religious fanatical jesus freak please refrain from posting. going to a catholic school for 13 years i've heard enough mindless, soap-box, praise the lord, he will strike you down, you're evil, god forgives you, you poor lost soul you just don't get it, blah blah blah mumbo jumbo to last a life-time.
if anyone has kind of the same views please let me know, just so i dont think im crazy.
also, if u can come to any other conclusions that rely on rational logical thinking and none of that "faith" bullshit please post too, im interested in what you all think.
thx
